Photo rendering Perspective with construction Lines

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm doing a presentation,and i wish i could display a perspective photo rendering view of my model, which also shows the construction lines and reference points of view.

I been doing some research but i cant seem to come across any setting that could bring up the construction lines that Archicad uses to build the perspective view.

Thank you in advance.

You can combine a Photo Render and a Sketch Render (either in photoshop, or use your photo render as the background in a Sketch rendering in Archicad itself) which will show outlines, but not extended construction lines if you want them disappearing off to the vanishing points.

I see, thank you for your help, however i do want to see the construction lines going the vanishing point or at least show me where the vanishing points are located.

Archicad is not a guy in his basement with a really long t-square.

Find vanishing points for any perspective view:
manually extend any two parallel lines to their convergence.

This can be done saving a hidden line view as "Archicad 2D lines"

But good perspectives have extremely distant convergences so the vanishing point probably isn't in the view.

Ok, so it can't be done.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Not with a snap of the fingers.
But here it is, done.

This is a very strange request of building modeling software. Why do you want it? The perspective is done for you. I can't imagine a use for this.

In fact I first bought Architrion back in 1987 so I wouldn't have to draw any more vanishing points. It was worth it just for that.

maybe he is supposed to do this manually
